Duct tape - That magical mystery material that is so essential in today's modern construction. Where would any good new construction contractor be without it? Having run out of strap hanging material, this plumbing contractor must have found a roll in the crawlspace, most likely dropped by the framing crew while taping all the stud wall members in place. Golly, what a find!

He taped the waste line off to:

  • The water lines - Those certainly are strong enough to hold this section up
  • The TV cable wire - Looks stout enough - Besides, the cable person will never know
  • The electrical wiring - These wires look a little puny so I'll just grab two just to be sure

I just love new construction - I never run out of things to write about.

By the way Do you have the number of that plumber?  He must be cheap and I have one client is looking for a work done.  We probably should recommend him to do the new world headquarters of 3M duct tape.  He may be on the wall of "most inventive" in their offices.
